DECEMBER 10, 2019 DAVID ZAKAR I had the pleasure of attending the Green Ops Defensive Pistol Clinic this past Sunday. I was looking through my blog to refresh my memory about it, and it turns out that it has been a full year since the last time I took this clinic. This was kind of a surprise! I go to […]

Rifle Mounted Lights Comparison
Special Contributor: Jay Landoe I see many people asking about weapon lights, trying to wade through the many options and price points and performance metrics, often being bombarded by single sample size testimonials of overhyped underperforming options, and I felt it necessary to distill down the data to a few easily understood, readily verifiable bullet […]
GREEN OPS DEFENSIVE CARBINE CLINIC I AAR (SIG EDITION)
NOVEMBER 4, 2019 DAVID ZAKAR I talk a lot about pistol skills on this blog. There’s a reason for that; when it comes to actually shooting stuff, pistols are the hardest of your options to use at anything beyond about 15yds. Pistol skills also tend to go away the fastest.

GREEN OPS DEFENSIVE PISTOL CLINIC II AAR
OCTOBER 9, 2019 DAVID ZAKAR One constant refrain I’ve had for at least a year is “where are my advanced Sunday classes?” In what I assume is part of a concerted effort to get me to shut up, Green Ops finally relented and offered a Defensive Pistol II clinic this past Sunday night. My inside information […]
SHADOW HAWK DEFENSE CLOSE QUARTER BATTLE / ROOM CLEARING CLASS AAR
SEPTEMBER 2, 2019 DAVID ZAKAR As I’ve become a somewhat better shooter over the past year and a half, I’ve tried to fit more and more “skills classes” into my training regimen beyond the usual carbine and pistol classes. This has included some competition-oriented classes, but also stuff like Greg Ellifritz’s knife course. The newest addition to my skill […]
